We have had our differences in the past, but have never trashed Van Jones like other progressives, for instances, the disgraced governor of N.Y. , Andrew Cuomo, a real lunatic.
No matter if you like him or not, Mr. Jones is level headed, in most cases he knows right form wrong. And so it is when he has stepped up to the plate and defended Jewish kids from marauding Muslim sympathizers including pseudo Palestinians, who in many cases, are here illegally or if not, have now broken their student visas and should be deported.
CNN’s Van Jones praised the Republican Party for sticking up for “Jewish kids” on college campuses amid the rash of antisemitism that cropped up after Hamas’ attack on Israel last month.
During his commentary on the third GOP presidential primary debate on Wednesday night, the CNN political contributor remarked that Republicans “forcefully” defended Jewish students while claiming that Democrats found themselves in “disarray” over the issue.
Jones made the comments after complimenting former South Carolina governor and 2024 presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s performance on the debate stage that evening.
The candidates also spoke about Jewish college students who have felt unsafe amid various pro-Palestinian protests that have erupted on major American campuses that have accused the Jewish state of oppressing and antagonizing Palestinians in the lead up to the attack.
During the debate, Haley argued, “If the KKK were doing this, every college president would be up in arms. This is no different. You should treat it exactly the same. Antisemitism is just as awful as racism, and we’ve got to make sure they’re protected.”
She added, “For everybody that’s protesting on these college campuses in favor of Hamas. Let me remind you something, Hamas said: ‘Death to Israel’ and ‘Death to America.’ They hate and would kill you too.“
Lebanon was a largely Christian country , but it also included areas containing many Muslims and Druze. On 1 September 1926, France formed the Lebanese Republic. A constitution was adopted on 25 May 1926 establishing a democratic republic with a parliamentary system of government.
In 1948 100,000 Palestinians fled to Lebanon because of the war. Israel did not permit their return after the cease-fire. As of 2017 between 174,000 and 450,000 Palestinian refugees live in Lebanon with about half in refugee camps (although these are often decades old and resemble neighborhoods). Palestinians often cannot obtain Lebanese citizenship or even Lebanese identity cards and are legally barred from owning property or performing certain occupations (including law, medicine, and engineering). According to Human Rights Watch, Palestinian refugees in Lebanon live in “appalling social and economic conditions.” You may ask why? Because the Lebanese don’t give a fly hoot about them.
Until the early 1970’s, Lebanon was dubbed “the Switzerland of the Middle East” for its unique status as both a snow-capped holiday destination and secure banking hub for Gulf Arabs. With the 1970 defeat of the PLO in Jordan, many Palestinian militants relocated to Lebanon, increasing their armed campaign against Israel. The relocation of Palestinian bases also led to increasing sectarian tensions between Palestinians versus the Maronites and other Lebanese factions.
In 1975, following increasing sectarian tensions, largely boosted by Palestinian militant relocation into South Lebanon, a full-scale civil war broke out in Lebanon. The Lebanese Civil War pitted a coalition of Christian groups against the joint forces of the PLO, left-wing Druze and Muslim militias. In June 1976, Lebanese President Élias Sarkis asked for the Syrian Army to intervene on the side of the Christians and help restore peace.[81]
In October 1976 the Arab League agreed to establish a predominantly Syrian Arab Deterrent Force, which was charged with restoring calm.PLO attacks from Lebanon into Israel in 1977 and 1978 escalated tensions between the countries. On 11 March 1978, 11 Fatah fighters landed on a beach in northern Israel and hijacked two buses full of passengers on the Haifa – Tel-Aviv road, shooting at passing vehicles in what became known as the Coastal Road massacre. They killed 37 and wounded 76 Israelis before being killed in a firefight with Israeli forces.[83] Israel invaded Lebanon four days later in Operation Litani. The Israeli Army occupied most of the area south of the Litani River. The UN Security Council passed Resolution 425 calling for immediate Israeli withdrawal and creating the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), charged with attempting to establish peace.
Israeli forces withdrew later in 1978, but retained control of the southern region by managing a 19-kilometre-wide (12 mi) security zone along the border. These positions were held by the South Lebanon Army (SLA), a Christian militia under the leadership of Major Saad Haddad backed by Israel. The Israeli Prime Minister, Likud‘s Menachem Begin, compared the plight of the Christian minority in southern Lebanon (then about 5% of the population in SLA territory) to that of European Jews during World War II.[84] The PLO routinely attacked Israel during the period of the cease-fire, with over 270 documented attacks.[85] People in Galilee regularly had to leave their homes during these shellings. Documents captured in PLO headquarters after the invasion showed they had come from Lebanon.[86] Arafat refused to condemn these attacks on the grounds that the cease-fire was only relevant to Lebanon.[87] In April 1980 the presence of UNIFIL soldiers in the buffer zone led to the At Tiri incident. On 17 July 1981, Israeli aircraft bombed multi-story apartment buildings in Beirut that contained offices of PLO associated groups. The Lebanese delegate to the United Nations Security Council claimed that 300 civilians had been killed and 800 wounded. The bombing led to worldwide condemnation, and a temporary embargo on the export of U.S. aircraft to Israel.
In August 1981, defense minister Ariel Sharon began to draw up plans to attack PLO military infrastructure in West Beirut, where PLO headquarters and command bunkers were located.[89]
In 1982, the PLO attacks from Lebanon on Israel led to an Israeli invasion, aiming to support Lebanese forces in driving out the PLO. A multinational force of American, French and Italian contingents (joined in 1983 by a British contingent) were deployed in Beirut after the Israeli siege of the city, to supervise the evacuation of the PLO. The civil war re-emerged in September 1982 after the assassination of Lebanese President Bachir Gemayel, an Israeli ally, and subsequent fighting. During this time a number of sectarian massacres occurred, such as in Sabra and Shatila, and in several refugee camps.The multinational force was withdrawn in the spring of 1984, following a devastating bombing attack during the previous year.
In September 1988, the Parliament failed to elect a successor to President Gemayel as a result of differences between the Christians, Muslims, and Syrians. The Arab League Summit of May 1989 led to the formation of a Saudi–Moroccan–Algerian committee to solve the crisis. On 16 September 1989 the committee issued a peace plan which was accepted by all. A ceasefire was established, the ports and airports were re-opened and refugees began to return.
In the same month, the Lebanese Parliament agreed to the Taif Agreement, which included an outline timetable for Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon and a formula for the de-confessionalization of the Lebanese political system. The civil war ended at the end of 1990 after 16 years; it had caused massive loss of human life and property, and devastated the country’s economy. It is estimated that 150,000 people were killed and another 200,000 wounded. Nearly a million civilians were displaced by the war, and some never returned. Parts of Lebanon were left in ruins. The Taif Agreement has still not been implemented in full and Lebanon’s political system continues to be divided along sectarian lines.
Conflict between Israel and Lebanese militants continued, leading to a series of violent events and clashes including the Qana massacre.In May 2000, Israeli forces fully withdrew from Lebanon. Since then, 25 May is regarded by the Lebanese as the Liberation Day.
On 12 July 2006, Hezbollah launched a series of rocket attacks and raids into Israeli territory, where they killed three Israeli soldiers and captured two others. Israel responded with airstrikes and artillery fire on targets in Lebanon, and a ground invasion of southern Lebanon, resulting in the 2006 Lebanon War. The conflict was officially ended by the UNSC Resolution 1701 on 14 August 2006, which ordered a ceasefire. Some 1,191 Lebanese and 160 Israelis were killed in the conflict. Beirut’s southern suburb was heavily damaged by Israeli airstrikes.
If a squatter moves from one end of town to the other, will the environment change? It depends, if your talking about Beverly HIlls it’s most likely you won’t see a difference. Would you call this a Refugee Camp? According to the U.N. it is. We are talking about Gaza here.
You’re housed in a hotel with all of the bells and whistles leaving behind the mud hut you called home. You didn’t forget that it was propped up by tree limbs. Have you not thanked your new hosts for their hospitality.
Refugee camps are made for internally displaced people. The camps generally develop in an impromptu fashion with the aim of meeting basic human needs for only a short time. Facilities that make a camp look or feel more permanent are often prohibited by host country governments.This is not so when it comes to Samaria and Judea. Apartment houses have been built, hotels gone up, shopping centers are prevalent. These are more like cities than refugee camps. Most of them are run by UNRWA, a violent anti-Israel/Jew organization.
From here we move on to GAZA. Remember that Israel left Gaza under Sharon, in hope that it would bring peace. You have all seen the apartment blocks being leveled, schools destroyed, shopping plazas leveled. This does not resemble a Refugee Camp. Far from it,
Hamas thugs threatened the populace turning Gaza into a war zone. Their commitment to destroy Israel was their Raison d’être. Until that end, they lived on the blood of innocent children, babies and mothers. Murder was their only game. Martyrdom was their salvation.
On October 7 these murderers executed their plan with precision, killing 1400 Israelis. Israel, had no choice but to go on the offensive, so far they have killed over ten thousand terrorists, yes, these Gazans are terrorists. Israel will not cease the “Iron Sword” response until Hamas is destroy and the people in Gaza can live their lives without threat from murderous thungs.
We have reiterated time and time again about the suicide bomber squad of Ocasio-Cortez, Talib, Omar, Pressley. Bowman, Bush, Caesar and Lee. These eight seditionists have one objective, that is to take out Whitey from governing this country.
We specifically call out Talib, an anti Israel hater, Jew hater and racist all wrapped up in one. Her violence is indicative of her hate for this country. She has raised the ante with respect of our support for Israel.
Marjorie Taylor Greene renews push to censure Rashida Tlaib: ‘Should be expelled’
Greene’s censure resolution failed late last month after 23 Republicans voted against it
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., on Saturday said she plans to reintroduce a resolution to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., over comments on the war in Gaza after her previous one failed to get enough votes in the House.
“I’m reintroducing my censure resolution against Terrorist Tlaib,” Greene wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “I am removing ‘insurrection’ and replacing it with ‘illegal occupation’ on Oct 18th that broke the same federal laws as Jan 6 and led to hundreds of arrest and assault on Cap Police.”
Greene was referring to a pro-Palestinian rally Tlaib attended during which activists took over much of the ground floor at the Cannon House Office Building.
Notice how Hussein begins his lengthy foaming, like a rabid dog, stating that 1400 Israelis were killed, showing empathy, but that is a smoke screen, a non-sequitur. He then pivots to the Hamas killers, the murderers. This is to show his neutral position, But is it? No way. His desires for a cease fire are to let his Pig Brothers rearm. Israel is not having any part of this. Kudos to Biden who is letting Israel do what it has to do.
Obama spoke at the Obama Foundation’s Democracy Forum on Thursday, where he called for a two-state solution and an end to the “occupation,” while not clarifying what occupation he meant.
“All of this is taking place against the backdrop of decades of failure to achieve a durable peace for both Israelis and Palestinians,” the former president told the forum audience.
Hussein Obama had to weigh in because his brothers in Gaza are paying the price. Having killed 1400 Israelis, the IDF has unleashed the Mother of all Wars on Hamas. When the job is complete Hamas will be no mas. This was not a war Israel wanted, but the killing of innocents, babies and mothers, they had no choice but to clean out the vermin that is a stone’s throw away.
JERUSALEM — In his daily briefings, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari regularly reminds Israelis that the war against Hamas in Gaza is being fought from “the air, the sea and the land,” yet he misses out on one important arena that is likely to become the focus as Israel sends its troops deeper into the Palestinian enclave: The vast web of underground tunnels built by Hamas.
According to those who closely track the Iranian-backed terror group, as well as admissions by its own leaders, Hamas has built an approximately 300-mile subterranean system that snakes beneath civilian homes, schools and hospitals in urban areas of the Gaza Strip.
And for the past three weeks – since its forces carried out a massive and brutal terrorist attack inside Israel on Oct. 7 – Hamas’ leadership, both political and military, has been safely holed up down there as Israeli fighter jets pound the territory from above.
On Wednesday during a briefing with the foreign press, Hagari said the massive damage in the Jabalia refugee camp after an Israeli airstrike on Tuesday was worsened by the fact that there were tunnels underneath the densely packed urban area. Locals reported seeing sinkholes opening up under the bombed-out buildings.
As Israeli ground forces expand further inside Gaza, the IDF will be forced to turn its attention to this underground battlefield, which is a challenge faced in other recent conflicts, particularly in the Middle East, but never on this scale, experts told Fox News Digital this week.

“Tunnels change everything about how the military is going to be able to advance and take control of the situation,” said Daphné Richemond-Barak, senior researcher and head of the International Law Desk at the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism at Reichman University in Israel.
“Tunnels turn the battlefield into a multidimensional battlefield, which is not the case in regular urban terrain, and that is something that must be considered as part of the operational challenges,” continued Richemond-Barak, also a research fellow at the Modern War Institute at West Point.
“As they (the IDF) advance into Gaza, they might be ambushed by tunnels behind them or below them in a most violent and unsettling fashion,” she said.
Such a scenario actually happened to an elite force of Israeli soldiers during a previous round of fighting in Gaza. In the 2014 conflict that Israelis refer to as Operation Protective Edge, three Israeli soldiers were ambushed by Hamas terrorists who succeeded in dragging the dead body of one of the soldiers, Lt. Hadar Goldin, into a secret tunnel. Israelis were shocked by this action, which happened during a U.N.-mediated cease-fire, and have been fighting to return Goldin’s body ever since.
Around five dozen individuals, some associated with Hamas and collectively boasting more than 100 million social media followers, have been waging a propaganda campaign against Israel on various social media platforms since the start of the Swords of Iron war on October 7.
These influencers, who identify as independent journalists, are often seen sporting blue press vests and helmets. They have also reportedly found refuge in Al-Shifa hospital, which the IDF recently disclosed serves as a Hamas command and control center, providing them with access to electricity and the internet.
While these individuals may appear to be speaking independently, they effectively act as the mouthpiece for the terrorist organization. Furthermore, they frequently feature in interviews and are quoted in mainstream media, causing their lies to spread.
Here are some examples:
Plestia Alaqad (Instagram handle @byplestia) has more than a million followers and calls herself an independent journalist but spread the lie on Instagram and in an interview with British TV that Israel bombed the Al-Ahli Hospital and killed more than 1,000 people.
“Yesterday, a complete massacre happened,” she said of the missile, which was quickly proven to be a misfired Islamic Jihad rocket and not connected to Israel at all. “Around 1,000 civilians were killed and martyred.”
Fewer than 50 people were killed in the incident, according to international independent investigations.
Social media users recoiled after “Squad” member and pro-Palestinian Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., released a video demanding President Biden support a cease-fire to stop “the genocide of the Palestinian people” or face electoral consequences in 2024.
Tlaib’s post on X, formerly known as Twitter, condemned Biden’s declaration that the U.S. stands with Israel and opposes a cease-fire, telling him, “the majority of the American people are not with you on this one. #CeasefireNow.” (WRONG – AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE WITH ISRAEL)
The post also included a video of scenes from Gaza and protests in the U.S., interspersed with clips from Biden, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The scenes included protest chants from Ohio saying, “No peace on stolen land!” Illinois “Free! Free! Palestine!” and Michigan “From the river to the sea.”
The video ended with Tlaib saying to the camera, “We will remember in 2024,” before the words “Joe Biden supported the genocide of the Palestinian people,” appeared on the screen along with a demand for him to immediately support a cease-fire “or don’t count on us in 2024.”

A multitude of X users found Tlaib’s post “disturbing.” Many accused the U.S. lawmaker of antisemitism, others disputed her claim that most American’s don’t want to back Biden’s support for Israel, and some demanded she resign.
The Spectator contributing editor Stephen Miller shared a screenshot of the video’s “From the river to the sea!” shot and asked, “Hi congresswoman, hey kind of a newb to all of this. What does this mean exactly? Thanks for any clarity you can provide.”
Former counterterrorism expert Nathan Sales told Fox News that the Palestinian chant represents a call for the “extermination of the Jewish state.”
Digital strategist Greg Price commented on the inclusion of “From the river to the sea,” stating, “It appears that Rashida Tlaib is endorsing the genocide of Israel while accusing Biden of supporting genocide.”
Former comms person for Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Steve Guest wrote, “In case you were wondering just how antisemitic Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib is, look no further than this. Not only did she make a video supporting the vile ‘from the river to the sea’ chant, she accused Joe Biden of supporting genocide.”
“She’s actually calling for the annihilation of Israel and genocide for me and my family, as well as all other Jews here. So yes, we will remember in 2024,” Jewish columnist Nadav Eyal explained.

“She’s inching towards telling us how she really feels. She’s still holding back. She wishes she were in southern Israel on October 7, but can’t bring herself to say it out loud,” Cornell Law professor William A. Jacobson alleged.
Journalist Jim Treacher expressed hope that Tlaib would be out of Congress soon. He stated, “Liar. I can’t wait till you go back to the private sector to hate Jews.”
Townhall.com editor Rebecca Downs ripped Tlaib, posting, “This disturbing pro-Hamas ad appeared almost a week ago to another account, and I covered it not long after for @townhallcom. We must make something very clear here. The calls of ‘from the river to the sea’ in MI, where Tlaib’s district is, is a call for genocide.”
Israeli rapid response X account “Israel War Room” shared Tlaib’s post and said, “In an ad attacking @POTUS, @RashidaTlaib amplifies calls for genocide against Israeli Jews.”
Following backlash, Tlaib claimed, “From the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate. My work and advocacy is always centered in justice and dignity for all people no matter faith or ethnicity.”
The White House and Biden re-election campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
The Palestinian hospital took a hit, numbers killed vary, but somewhere around 400-500. Tlaib blamed Israel when the evidence pointed to an errant Hamas missile that took out their own people. All of this was confirmed by numerous sources, including the United States, Israel, Italy, England, France, Germany and UNIFIL. But, Tlaib still has not retracked her initial blaming Israel. So, she continues to spew “Jew Hate” from California to Connecticut.
This POS is not fit to sit in the House of Representatives. She has continued to throw bombs at the United States and Israel. Keep in mind, that this piece of Human Excrement, born in Detroit to parents from in Israel and Judea. We are talking SEDITION
The latest bomb was thrown at Biden, the president of the United States.
Remember, she and her Muslim friends were partying on 9-11 as the Twin Towers went down.
Rashida Tlaib Posts Video Accusing Biden of Supporting ‘Genocide’
Representative Tlaib has been on the leading edge of a group of Democrats critical of the president’s embrace of Israel, but the accusation marks an extraordinary broadside from a lawmaker of his own party.
Representative Rashida Tlaib, Democrat of Michigan and an outspoken voice for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war, released a video on Friday that accused President Biden of supporting the genocide of Palestinians.
“Mr. President, the American people are not with you on this one,” Ms. Tlaib says in the video. “We will remember in 2024.”
After she speaks, the screen goes dark and a message appears in white lettering stating: “Joe Biden supported the genocide of the Palestinian people. The American people won’t forget. Biden, support a cease-fire now. Or don’t count on us in 2024.”
The bottom line here is that the American People won’t forget the Hamas killers of children, babies and mothers who were killed in their sleep by her relatives.

SUICIDE BOMBER FROTHS AT THE MOUTH – JEW HATER TLAIB GIVES $170K CAMPAIGN CASH TO ANTI-SEMITE RACE HATER
Congresswoman @RashidaTlaib tells cheering crowd that Trump impeachment coming
How can a Democrat of the Jewish Persuasion sit in the same House with an Anti-Semite Jew Hater? Just not understandable to us, or for that matter an ordinary person. Let’s just say that if a Democrat was provoking the Black Community by funding the KKK, the Red Flag would go up in an instant, the Black Caucus would demand expulsion immediately. But for some reason these Jews sit there and take it as Anti-Semitic Pies are thrown in their face. Wake up Jewish Community, they are out to get you again. Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Pressley are Hitler’s grand daughters doing his dirty work in absentia.
The campaign of “Squad” Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., has paid out $170,000 to an anti-Israel activist who has called Israel an “apartheid state” and has called for defunding the police multiple times.
Tlaib’s campaign has paid $147,000 to Unbought Power LLC, a political consulting and advocacy firm run by Rasha Mubarak, since March 2020. Tlaib’s leadership PAC, Rooted in Community Leadership, which lists Mubarak as a “treasurer,” has paid Unbought Power another $23,000 since October 2020, according to Federal Elections Commission (FEC) filings reviewed by Fox News Digital.
Mubarak, a “Palestinian Muslim American community activist,” has a history of making anti-Israel statements online and calling Israel an “apartheid state.”
“These aren’t clashes— it’s an ongoing occupation. These aren’t evictions— they are forced expulsions,” Mubarak tweeted in May of last year. “This isn’t a conflict— it’s settler colonialism, it’s ethnic cleansing, it’s oppression, it’s apartheid.”
“Say it loud. Say it clear. Palestine will be FREE,” she continued with the hashtag “#SaveSheikhJarrah.”
Mubarak also attacked Democratic Rep. Ted Deutch of Florida, who is Jewish, in September of last year over his remarks pushing back against Tlaib labeling Israel an apartheid state.
“Oh look it’s [Deutch] throwing another tantrum,” the “activist” tweeted. “He used his time to attack [Tlaib] for underscoring facts also made by Human Rights Watch [and B’Tselem] — Israel is indeed an apartheid state.”
“He’s flustered [because] how else does one rebuttal the truth?” she claimed. “Bullying [and] disparagement.”
Tlaib has paid out $170,000 to firm of anti-Israel activist who supports defunding the police
Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis suggested that some of the activities of pro-Palestinian student groups may be violating federal law. The governor added that in response to Students for Justice’s support for the Palestinians in the wake of the attack on Israel, he is going to “deactivate” the group in his state.
Pro-Hamas protests have cropped up in urban areas across the country, from large cities like New York and Washington to places like Allentown, Pa., where Muslim activists rallied this week at a monument dedicated to Pennsylvania’s Civil War volunteers to declare purported “Gaza genocide” at the hands of Israel.
However, across Europe there have been prohibitions on such activity, including in Germany, where police reportedly cracked down on a pro-Palestinian demonstration near Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate this week.
In Florida, DeSantis said he has tried to curb the activities of groups such as Students for Justice in Palestine, telling FOX News he ordered the states’ universities to disband chapters on their campuses.
“You don’t have a First Amendment right to provide material support to terrorists. So we have deactivated the Students for Justice in Palestine groups on university campuses and our state university system in the state of Florida. And I think we’re the first state to do that,” he said, in an apparent nod to a federal law – 18 USC 2339b – that deems “providing material support or resources to foreign terrorist organizations” illegal.
DeSantis added he would do the same at the federal level as he has at the state level in terms of groups tied to or considering
He said he called on President Biden to do so but is not anticipating a response.
“Some of these people that are demonstrating in favor of Hamas terrorism – and these demonstrations started before the blood was even dry of these Israeli civilians who were massacred – they immediately were praising this,” he said, adding that some protesters are foreign nationals on student visas.
Those students, he posited, no longer have a right to be in the United States.
“That’s a privilege. I will cancel that visa and I will send you home.”

"Where Revolution is the Solution" Taking back the Empire
